How much money should I bring to japan for a week?

Question:

How much spending money would be good for 7 nights in japan, not including breakfast/dinner/hotel/tourist attractions. Just lunch and buying souvenirs, clothes etc.
I am expecting to go next year in the spring.

Answer:

That really depends on what you want to do and where you want to go. Prices at regular Japanese restaurants are usually USD$8-$15 a meal, but food can cost you about USD$5-8 a meal if you eat at budget Japanese restaurants like Yoshinoya, Sukiya, and CoCo Ichiban Curry House. Souvenirs can also range in price, but a good place to get cheap souvenirs is the 100 yen stores located all around Japan.
